Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Damien Moore and Claire Perry

Tuesday 13th March 2018 Commons Chamber

[Damien Moore (Southport) (Con)]

T4. According to the tidal energy industry leader Tidal Lagoon Power, Southport is considered to be one of the best locations in the United Kingdom for a tidal lagoon. Will my right hon. Friend therefore meet me to discuss the possibility of bringing tidal energy to Southport?

[The Minister for Energy and Clean Growth (Claire Perry)]

My hon. Friend is, as ever, assiduous in promoting the interests of his constituency, and I would be delighted to meet him. I should point out that the lagoon project in his constituency is currently not part of the proposal being put forward by the company promoting other tidal projects.
